5 Tier 3 Mids with Tier 1 Potential

There are several strategies to excel in your AFL Fantasy draft. One effective method is identifying midfielders outside the top 24 who could finish the year as a top 12 player.

For instance, in the 2023 season, three midfielders who had an average draft position (ADP) outside the top 24 ended up as top 12 players. According to FantasyData, Will Day, drafted as the Mid47, finished as the Mid2. Darcy Parish, often undrafted, concluded the season as the Mid6 despite missing five games. Matt Crouch, a breakout candidate with an ADP of Mid29, ended up as the Mid11.

So, which midfielders drafted in the 25-36 range have the potential to finish in the top 12 in 2024? Let's explore five possible candidates.
